How Murchison Road, Hoddesdon prices moved
The chart tracks the median Murchison Road, Hoddesdon house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2013. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £70,000 | £155,433 |
| 2000s | 6 | £161,000 | £293,295 |
| 2010s | 1 | £250,000 | £352,500 |
The highest yearly median on record for Murchison Road, Hoddesdon is £250,000 in 2013; the lowest is £70,000 in 1996. Across the full 18-year record the cash median has moved from £70,000 to £250,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £151,846, so the real change over the whole record is +140.1% — about +5.29% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +55.3% in cash against +17.4% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Ownership and new build in Murchison Road, Hoddesdon
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 82 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Broxbourne, 50.0% of 42,807 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 2.8% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Broxbourne at £1,675 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,125 for a one-bedroom home and £1,769 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £174,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 11.55% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of EN11, 204 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 58 violent, 9 burglary, 12 vehicle-related and 35 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.2 times busier.
Against the 99,009 residents the 2021 census counted in Broxbourne, that is 2.06 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Within Hoddesdon the street ranks 173 of 212 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £200,000 (-13.0%).

The full range on record runs from £55,500 to £450,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Murchison Road, Hoddesdon sits in Broxbourne, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Broxbourne at 10.8 times median local earnings of £39,583 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Murchison Road, Hoddesdon?
The median price paid in Murchison Road, Hoddesdon across every sale on the register is £174,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Murchison Road, Hoddesdon?
82 sales are on record for Murchison Road, Hoddesdon, the most recent completing on 18 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +55.3% between 2002 and 2013. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +17.4%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Murchison Road, Hoddesdon house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £250,000, set in 2013. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Murchison Road, Hoddesdon?
£2,030 per square metre, from the 11 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 18 Mar 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
